What the game actually is

A run is a chain of decisions

Forgotten Stories combines permanent risk with information that carries between attempts. A Forgotten Stories party selects tiles, enters turn-based encounters, reacts through weapon-specific QTEs, and searches for equipment, Money, Ink, Books, and healing before the next decision.

The official Forgotten Stories description confirms the roguelike structure, party play, equipment upgrading, Book writing, QTE actions, dodge controls, block, and parry. The official Discord adds the permadeath label and explains how Books affect later runs. Forgotten Stories still remains a heavy work in progress, so this archive dates every volatile claim.

Field archive

Verified Forgotten Stories knowledge

The Forgotten Stories archive separates official facts, public work-in-progress data, and unknown fields so players can use the information without mistaking gaps for certainty.

The Forgotten Stories run loop

Forgotten Stories expects failure, but the verified mechanics reveal a repeatable learning loop. The route below explains what persists without pretending every random run follows one script.

  1. 01

    Choose a tile

    Travel uses a tile-based map. The checked sources do not publish a complete route, so the field guide marks region knowledge as partial where needed.

  2. 02

    Survive the encounter

    Turn order, QTE actions, dodge directions, block, and parry determine whether the party can keep moving.

  3. 03

    Build the run

    Money buys town items, equipment improves survival, and weapon or elemental use raises the related affinity.

  4. 04

    Write for the future

    Ink writes Books in the lobby. A signed Book may appear immediately in a later run or reduce a requirement, with special exceptions.

Regions with evidence, not invented routes

Forgotten Stories region labels confirm where selected records belong. They do not establish a complete map order, every transition, or a final chapter sequence.

Forest

Documented

The public Trello labels enemies and bosses in this region, including Aggrovant, Carnage, Carcass, Dust, Harlod, and Abigail.

Caves

Documented

Public enemy cards place Runevorant, Grovorant, Leper, Giant Spider, and several Mirage enemies in the Caves.

Mines

Partial

Supreme Chaos (Rumiel) carries the Mines label. The checked sources do not establish a full region route or chapter order.

Tundra

Partial

Supreme Order (Zenitella) and selected enemy records carry the Tundra label. Full map progression remains unverified.

Forgotten Stories region coverage is intentionally conservative. Forest has the broadest checked boss evidence; Caves, Mines, and Tundra need dedicated pages before stronger route claims.

Forgotten Stories bosses: known values, visible gaps

Forgotten Stories boss records are public work-in-progress Trello cards. The preview keeps unknown statistics blank instead of estimating them.

Public Trello imagery

Updated Forgotten Stories rule: the September 10 changelog lowers extra-rune damage from 30% to 20%. The FAQ's separate extra Buff Rune adds one Turn of duration. Read the current rune correction →

Progression has separate limits

A Forgotten Stories build can grow several affinities, but the caps are not one shared pool. Stat Lock exists because the checked FAQ says a current run cannot freely undo allocation.

35

Weapon + Element

All Weapon and Element Affinity points share this published total cap.

20

Physique

Each point adds 1 max health; every 5 adds physical damage; every 10 adds stamina.

20

Runesight

Each point adds elemental damage; every 5 adds mana; every 10 adds a Rune slot.

2 / 3.5 / 5.5 / 8

Extra turns

These Speed thresholds grant 1, 2, 3, or 4 extra turns according to the official FAQ.

Books connect one attempt to the next

Forgotten Stories Books are written in the lobby with Ink. A signed Book normally appears immediately in a new run or lowers a requirement by 3, but the official FAQ documents special exceptions. The Forgotten Stories site keeps those exceptions on source-linked guide pages rather than compressing them into a false universal rule.

Study Books

Check a published stat limit

This Forgotten Stories tool applies the official FAQ rule: Physique and Runesight each stop at 20 and share a total cap of 30.

Physique adds 1 max health per point, 2% physical damage every 5 points, and 1 max stamina every 10 points.

Runesight adds 1% elemental damage per point, 1 max mana every 5 points, and 1 max Rune slot every 10 points.

Official FAQ rule

Physique and Runesight cap

20/30

10 points remain. This allocation adds 10 max health, 2 max mana, and 1 max rune slot from the published thresholds.

Evidence policy

How this Forgotten Stories guide stays honest

A useful Forgotten Stories site must show where a claim came from, when it was checked, and whether the source itself is complete.

01

Roblox APIs

Forgotten Stories identity, description, public counts, media, group details, content maturity, badges, and passes.

02

Official Discord

Forgotten Stories FAQ mechanics, beginner advice, announcements, platform plans, creator links, and public not-found checks.

03

Public Trello

Forgotten Stories boss, enemy, spell, Book, inheritance, equipment, item, NPC, and location records.

Current boundary: no official Forgotten Stories codes were found in the 12 public text channels checked on 2026-09-13. The lore channel contained one short owner-authored line, and the new public changelogs channel now carries dated balance notes. Those are dated findings, not permanent claims.
